Ch. 4: Jelly Bean
BELLA'S POV
It was a normal day. Just like any other rainy day in Forks. Only today seemed to be very slow. Nothing interesting had happened lately. Edward was out hunting to my utter disappointment. So far I had done all my homework, scrubbed the house from top to bottom, and done all the laundry. Now I was sitting comfortably on the couch eating a bowl of my favorite sweets while watching a movie. Jelly beans; my absolute favorite. I loved the chewy texture and most of the flavors, especially root beer and dr. pepper. The movie I was watching was very interesting. It was War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise in it. I hadn't seen it yet and it immediately captured my attention.
So, here I sat, eyes wide in suspense, eating jelly beans. And then it happened. A scary part came on and I screamed, jumping up. How it happened I don't know. But, as I stood up from my new seat on the floor, I gasped in horror. I stood up and ran to the bathroom. Quickly, I grabbed a tissue and blew my nose. It didn't work! The jelly bean was STILL STUCK UP MY NOSE!!
"Oh god, oh god, oh god! What do I do?! How do I get it out?" I cried. I tried blowing again; it didn't work. I tried using my hand to get it out. Pushing and pulling on it. It only got worse! I got so frustrated, tears started to pour.
Then to make matters worse, I heard the door open. "Bella! I'm back!"
It was Edward! "We're here too Bella!" Oh no! The whole damn family was here. And here I am in the bathroom with a jelly bean stuck up my nose.
"Where are you Bella?" Edward's voice carried up the stairs.
"In the bathroom," I mumbled, pathetically.
I heard him at the door then, fumbling with the handle. "Bella is everything ok in there?" he asked.
I gulped, "Um…not really, no." I could feel my face erupt into a fresh blush.
The door was open before I could blink, and I was in Edward's arms. I could see Carlisle, Alice, and Emmett clearly behind him. Edward pulled away to look at me, but I averted my face and looked down.
"Bella look at me. What's the matter?" he pushed.
I shook my head. It was so embarrassing! "No," I said stubbornly.
He forcefully grabbed my chin and made me look at him. It was silent for a moment, then Edward asked softly, "Bella what did you do?" His voice coated with amusement.
I jerked my chin away from his fingers and looked down. I heard him start to laugh, and I shot my head up to glare at him. "It's not funny!" To my terror, my voice came out all nasally. Edward busted out laughing.
"How did you manage to do this Bella?"
"What, what did she do?!" I heard Emmett yell.
Edward picked me up gently and carried me out into the hallway. "Let's see if we can get this thing out Bella," he laughed.
I groaned in embarrassment. "WHAT DID SHE DO!?" Alice screamed.
Once I was sitting at the kitchen table, Edward turned to his family and said between chuckles, "Bella got a jelly bean stuck up her nose."
Emmett, Alice, and Jasper busted out laughing. "Omg! That's amazing Bella!" Alice gasped.
I buried my face in my hands. My face was redder than a tomato.
"Alright enough laughing," I heard Carlisle say, "Let's help the poor girl get that thing out."
1 HOUR LATER
"Damn this thing is really in there Bella," Emmett teased. Nothing we had done so far worked. It was hopeless. I would forever have a tutti fruity Jelly bean stuck up my nose!
I couldn't help tearing up again at the thought of it remaining there. "Bella, crying will only make it worse honey," Edward warned.
"I know. I just want it out!" I cried.
I stood up angrily and turned to go upstairs. In my quick maneuver, I knocked over a bottle of pepper. The tickling sensation began as I accidentally inhaled some of the powder. "AH…AH…AHCHOOO!" I sneezed.
And 'woooooo' there went the jelly bean flying across the room, only to go straight down Emmett's throat. The sounds of his chocking could be heard, but I was only interesting in wiggling my nose, basking in the freedom of my clear nose.
I turned to Emmett, "You ok?"
"No I'm not okay!" he yelled, "I just got you snot bean down my throat thank you very much!"
I couldn't help it; I busted into hysterics. The other members joined me. "Well at least my nose is free."
And so my love for jelly beans declined that day. Now I never eat jelly beans while watching action packed or scary movies.
Hope you guys liked it! Review plz. I'll update ASAP.
